More quotes by Billy Corgan
I always thought Kurt Cobain was the perfect embodiment of the great alternative guitar player.
Billy Corgan
I don't wanna play this kind of cartoon character anymore.
Billy Corgan
The difficulty, if you're in the world - and this is for anybody - is the eventual disappointment that comes with having to meet other versions of reality. Imposed systems that ask you to compromise or sacrifice things which you consider holy or sacred.
Billy Corgan
There's nothing more satisfying than going to a market and meeting the person who picked the strawberries, or it's their farm that the strawberries came from, and giving them a fair value in exchange for what they're giving you.
Billy Corgan
The point is to let the music be itself. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then it's bullsh*t.
Billy Corgan
We are the most beloved and hated band in the world.
Billy Corgan
I was part of a generation that changed the world - and it was taken over by poseurs.
Billy Corgan
Like any good tree that one would hope to grow, we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.
Billy Corgan
That's the real endeavor: to try to create that direct conduit from the pure consciousness of your creative voice to the person who's a craftsman who can go into the world and consistently deliver new things worth paying attention to.
Billy Corgan
We have a problem with any labels that people try to hang on us, because all it does is drag you down.
Billy Corgan
I dont think we're the type of band people look at and say, 'I want to grow up to be just like that'. We're like a train wreck.
Billy Corgan
For someone who's had the level of success I've had, there's been very little critical review of my work, which is pretty fascinating.
Billy Corgan
I grew up in the suburbs and basically associate the suburbs with cultural death.
Billy Corgan
There is something mighty suspicious about declaring an emergency for something that has yet to show itself to be a grand pandemic.
Billy Corgan
I like my home and I like the nature.
Billy Corgan
To be able to put your arms around 24 years of music, it's really fun.
Billy Corgan
Gish was the best representation of where we were at the time.
Billy Corgan
In the music business I am surrounded by people who don't view music as a sacred voice. They view music as something that they can use and exploit, often times lazily. They have no sense of the tradition, they have no sense of honor about those who came before and charted the path.
Billy Corgan
In 1992, with the weight of a perceived world on our shoulders, we disappeared into a parking garage to write the songs that would change the course of our lives forever. 'Siamese Dream' represents all of our dreams coming true, while the dreams of a happy band fell apart.
Billy Corgan
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in the cage.
Billy Corgan
